Greetings All:
This page may help if you're shopping around:
https://www.southwest.com/find-best-flight-deals/
If you have flights booked for the summer or beyond, I would recheck pricing, even if the quoted fare is not even close to the lowest threshold of $39. You may still find a better deal.
Example: Back in February, I booked a one way flight for later this summer at regular price for $189 from Texas back to SoCal as it's usually sound advice to book all summer travel plans before the springtime in case prices later surge.
During a prior recent sale, the fare dropped to $160 and I re-priced it via the "Change Flight" module and collected a $29 credit. After the sale, the price went back up to $189. Today under this sale, it was pricing at $120. I re-priced it and I collected an additional $40 in credit. I would not call saving $69-off my airline bill 'bait and switch'.
While this flight is certainly still nowhere near the $39 territory, I believe that SW is in fact having a Wanna Get Away Sale now as advertised through Thu 4/11. If you see a Low Fare Sale, best to check your reservations and re-price if needed...and thank goodness for No Change Fees!
One exception: If you booked a flight during the recent Promotional Companion Pass promo, I would not touch those bookings that as re-pricing those flights would void the Promo CP deal.

Thanks, I do have all my bookings under 'Upcoming trips'. 18 pages of them (only 2 displayed per page).
I'm looking for ALL in one spot, preferably wth Locator Number, cost, dates, & time.
I can only do this by digging through all the pages, then hitting each trip, or scanning my email via locator number.
A bit troublesome and very expensive when the only internet access is driving to town and going to the library where you are allotted 1 hr / week access.
Just looking for a quick and easy (and inexpensive) option to track trips.
Previously 'Future trips' portal displayed (6) trips on each page. 1/6th the time and expense to browse.
Thx
Hello-
A one-hour-per week time limit to use a public library's internet...That's the tightest I've seen it! Is this limit specifically for using the library's public computers or for using the public Wi-Fi network with a personal device like your phone, tablet or laptop?
If you have a personal device, I would "Wi-Fi shop" until you find a location that has better usage terms, even if its in the parking lot of a local Starbucks or McDonald's as no purchase is required to use these.
In either case, I would first save or print your upcoming flight confirmation emails to an offline location. From there, you can access the details anytime to transfer to your spreadsheet without internet connection. Would this option work for you?

When was the last non-stop SWA you used? Pre-Covid? Many routes now have connections, and ALL my routes do. But never fear, I will never buy another WiFi connection on SWA, nor will many others.
one thing I would like to see change with the price going up allow people to switch Wi-Fi to a different device in case one of you devices dies during the flight.
This would be nice, I did see it on my one trip on the other guys.
The other guys also had two price tiers where you could buy a couple of hours or else pay much more for duration of your trip (it might have even been for 8 hours and not the full trip duration) which compared to $8/day I was like "ugh" but if the price is going up this might be a good way to break it into bite size wifi.

Sadly it's been so long since I've had flights booked that I don't remember seeing more than 2 of my booked flights at a time without having to scroll to the right so even the old had its limitations You can read more about the new changes and provide comments in this thread: https://community.southwest.com/t5/Rapid-Rewards/Southwest-com-My-Account-Improvements/m-p/111296/highlight/true#M6878 The author of the post has been responding so I would leave feedback there. --TheMiddleSeat

Just a guess, but I think the OP may be referring to this dreaded "oops" error box. When you go to the Southwest site on the desktop, it first appears that you are logged in -- it displays your name and current point total, etc. However, if you try to do most anything on the site, you're greeted with the message above. You have to go back, and then log out & back in to be actually logged in. It's a frustrating bug that's been around for years and years (there's at least one FlyerTalk thread about it). It even predates the most recent website redesign. My solution is to simply log out and log back in every single time I use the desktop site (if it's been more than a few minutes since I last used it). Clumsy, but it keeps me from seeing that message. 😉

I can get on the mainpage but can not select a flight. Been having these problems for several months and after SWA reset my account, it worked for awhile and now is doing the same thing as before.

Any updates to these tool schedules? Getaway and Route Map? I want to plan trips to Latin America or the Caribbean, but I have spent hours guessing, does SW fly to Grand Cayman Island, is it seasonal, do I have to fly across the country first to get a connection. I have that same question for all of your other destinations. This tool is such a necessity. Help us be the frequent flyers/customers you want us to be.

But I NEVER missed a cancellation when SWA was so kind to send a; "Your Trip is just around the corner" email.~ 24hrs before boarding. So much for the 'Good-ole-days'... 6+ yrs ago. Maybe the IT department is funded by the many of us forfieting flights. (I live and work overseas ~ 50% of the time so very easy to MISS an opportunity to cancel since SWA website does not work from some countries (like Singapore). Are you using the app? You could get a reminder to check-in that way as well. Anyway - they still send those emails, but it's a separate issue that for some reason you may not be receiving them. You can search for a related thead on that topic to see if your email service is on a blacklist.
